j2narchitecture Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Hi. How do I create a curved roof edge on a shed roof (low slope 1:-12) ? I know how to make a simple shed roof, but cannot figure how to get the edge to curve to follow the wall below. Attached are photos of similar roof I am trying to create for my boathouse project. Attached is also my chief file. I am using X10. Any help is appreciated. Thank you kindly. CA_Roof Question.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Nice looking project. A roof plane is a polyline so it can be trimmed with polyline subtraction. Just create a polyline solid the shape of what needs to be trimmed and preform the boolean subtraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 You can also just select your roof plane, click Polyline Intersection, and then select that polyline you already have drawn. P.S. You might need to convert any arcs to polylines to get your fascia to properly generate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j2narchitecture Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 Hi. Thank you both for the quick responses - especially since I have a meeting in 12 hours from now to show my clients a design. lol. I will give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I made a video a while back on creating an almost perfectly round roof. Forgot to record the sound but may be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the Auto Roof not give you what you need? as Eric shows it seems to work okay in the supplied plan for me too , but I guess I am missing something? The wall settings are wrong in the supplied plan for a shed roof BTW... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
